First coat of primer (rattle can) on this guy. Any recommendations on brushes that hold their tip well? I've been using my girlfriend's old makeup brushes + some Kolinsky detail brushes.
>>94545835I just turn on the extractor fan in the kitchen and leave the room for an hour or so after I spray.And my skull hardly has any dents in it
>>94545712I usually airbrushing lacquer paint at 20psi but i seen people saying the recommend psi for acrylic is 30?
>>9454605530 would be for primers, depends on needle size and stuff.
>>94546067But i sprayed lacquer primer at 20 psi too? What about normal acrylic paint? I have the 0.3 needle airbrush
>>94546117You're probably going to need to thin acrylic primer more for a 0.3 needle.
is there too much metal on the back?Gold star of chaos, brass wings on the power pack, silver skulls? Should I paint the brass wings silver instead or just make them red like the armor?
>>94546175If you're going to do a wash or pinwash I think that will be enough to break it up.
>>94545751>>94484740>>94545819It might be me? I have been off in the world fulfilling obligations, but now I'm back to cozy WIP time. Anon, thanks for the card and the minis, I showed them to my dog and wife (different individuals) and neither were impressed. The wife and all her friends now greet me with "KEEP THAT COCK WARM", so the victory is yours.
>>94546349why are you short?
>>94546349Nice haul. I'm referring to the guy getting me stuff. My gift was posted a few threads back.
Grange over Sands anon, I'm sending out your stuff next week
Man... I just can't stand going to GW. Are the employees *like that* for a reason, or is it just because they're autsitic wargamers?Does anybody know any GW employees, or maybe worked there themselves?
>>94546747>Does anybody know any GW employeesYes. I know the manager at Warhammer Denton Town Crossing, the former manager of the Fort Worth (Hulen Mall Area) store, and a few of the ladz at the Citadel.What country are you in? Here in Burgerland, almost all the stores have but a sole employee with maybe an on-call backup. The Citadel (and its West Coast counterpart) is an exception in that it has enough staff to rotate and stay open even when somebody calls in sick.>>94545712Thanks for making us a new thread.

>>94546789There's one main guy at my store with I think 2 other people to fill in. It used to just be the main guy and 1 other person but I swear they were closed half the fucking time.
Well would you look at that, a quarter cup of flying rippers!
>>94546832>I swear they were closed half the fucking time.It's ... challenging to find good help these days. Plus, there are circumstances even the best laid plans just can't prepare you for.The guys running the sole-employee stores are the equivalent of full-time managers. They get benefits such as medical insurance. It's enough to live on I suppose, but they aren't setting the world on fire. There's no way I could support my family on what those guys make.Of the four such employees I have known personally, two are still at it, and one has moved on to become the guy GW sends around the country to open new stores. There's a new Warhammer store opening in Tyler, Texas, in about a week, and I imagine he'll be there.The fourth guy's store (Colleyville) has been closed twice and AFAIK is currently shuttered... although it's my understanding that he has also accepted a different position within the company.
>>94546888A bucket of wings?
>>94546897>the guy GW sends around the country to open new storesIs he the one who goes around telling them to be the most annoying corpo salesmen despite no commissions?
i have never even seen gw store in my lifeis it true they dont allow playing there anymore and just have tables for demonstation games where they are supposed to lose to every kid that walks in the store
>>94547057No, of course they allow games. Although it may only be during set times. I'm not sure if that varies store to store though.
>>94545956>that chainmail>that chest skull? thing? blob?Rip bozo, 0 days w/o proontoid self-ownage
>>94547140Make yourself useful and give me brush recommendations faggot. I've no idea what you're even saying
>>94547224He's being a dingus because you can tell it has 3D printed parts when closely observed. They complain about paypigs, they complain about people who don't want to paypig, they're just born to be unhappy. I think the general consensus on brushes is to just use a cheaper set and clean/condition them regularly with brush soap, replacing them after they get too bad to maintain. Opinions are pretty broad, though, depending on the day of the week you ask.
>>94547272>I think the general consensus on brushes is to just use a cheaper setOnly if you're starting out. After that I'd move on to Raphaels, Windsor and Newtons, Artis Opis, Da Vinci or whatever. The difference is very noticeable if you feel like you've hit a wall. I think if you're just painting to play, cheap synthetic is probably fine and there's definitely people out there that can push through it and get just as good with them as with expensive brushes.
>>94546175I think you should stick to the trim color to the top of the backpack instead of going brass. Maybe do the skulls in brass instead. This is how I did mine if it helps.
>>94547224I'm saying that your figure's chainmail loincloth is bad. As for brushes, synthetics from any regular arts supplier should be enough. Natural hair only starts to make a difference when you do ultra-small, ultra-defined things like faces.

Love it when priming ties a kitbash together.
>>94547140>YES DADDY JAMES I LOOOOOOVE PAYING 40€ FOR ONE FUCKING MODEL >OOHHH YEEES FUCK ME HARDERthats you
Do fanatic paints come pre thinned?
>>94547323Nice blend on the cloth. What are the colors you used?
>>94547140Take your meds and go shit up a different general, faggot
>>94547652>>94547701Post models
>>94547889Cool, now we know where you came from. Fuck off to /40kg/ then
Anybody here used P3 paints? They've gotten a reboot and reformulation and are now in droppers. Any particular colours you were fond of? I'm curious about brass balls and pig iron. Mostly because I am looking for an actual bullet casing lead coloured paint. And I am a sucker for dark grey metallics.>>94547669I don't think they do given AP's advertisement of them being so heavily pigmented.
>>94547683Kantor blue, genestealer purple, lothern blue and emperor's children.
>>94548000Thanks, I'm trying to go for something similar but more desaturated on a tzeentch tentacle and that should help
Can someone tell me why every base that i have that is supposed to be 60mm, is 65mm.I only ever noticed after i printed some toppers for my GSG and every dankhold and the mushroom spell is wrong size.
>>94548181did you scale the base in your slicer?
>>94548211Nope, the measurement of the base that came in the box is 65. The measurements on the website says its supposed to be 60, i just looked at some other unopened kits the same goes for the hive tyrant.
Anon, thank you very very much for my gifts!

Scotland Anon, finally got the last item for your gift so will get it sent out tomorrow morning, via Royal Mail. Will pass on the tracking to Santa. Sorry it's taken so long.
>>94545814I use acrylic gesso watered down. I started because I bought pebeo studio gesso and it’s dogshit for oil painting, when I ran out I started using my good gesso and it’s even better. Water it down it goes miles and miles
>>94545956I recommend you should sand out those print contours before painting.
>>94546175No, but your part definition is poor because you’re not using a black line or detail wash. Under that cold onto the blue for example has terrible definition because there’s no shadow defining the edge. Picrel.
>>94548395>>94547323Ps. You can see on this one between the gold and purple how the shadow defines its edge.
>>94548395I’m going to rape a skink
>>94545956Ps. Rapahel. 0 and 2. All you’ll ever need if you take care of them. Get B&J brush cleaner and preserver because it can even repair brushes and protect tips in storage.
>>94548395would
>>94548248>DON'T WAAAGH!>OPEN INSIDEI knew SS fags were retards but this takes the cake.
i wanted to try some weathering but i'm afraid i ruined my boy beyond salvation
>>94548680Looks fine to me
>>94548680view from the other side
I'm realizing that this guy's shoulder won't match my transfer sheets - I should have painted it white, not silver. That being said I like the look of this, and I can't help but feel that matt white would look awful on the textured, sculpted pauldron. Any ideas? I was considering maybe a metallic white as a compromise, but it looks fairly good as is.
>>94548849Mobile ate my photo
I finished some more tiny dudes I'll probably never use on the table I just wanted the models and I tormented myself painting them and all their shitty fucking details except for the last couple I forgot about that I'm not going to go back and fix because fuck that.
>>94548856>>94548849Also, first time freehanding a squad decal on the right shoulder, second time freehanding at all. How'd I do for a guy with carpal tunnel?
>>94548856>>94548871
what would be the best way to get this kind of blackened metal? paint black then drybush metallic?
>>94548884Yeah, that's how I used to do it.
>>94548884I'd stipple a brighter metallic over darker one so you get this worn metal feel to it that's seen some use
>>94548884Vince just dropped a video on this like a day ago, base dark metal, shade with a thinned dark color, stipple with midtone metal, edge highlight/weather with silver.
>>94546349Hey that's my package! Glad to know it got where it needed to be. Hope you like it man. Merry Christmas anon, and keep that cock warm!
>>94546349>wargames atlantic skellys spottedI was just thinking about buying some of those. Is this a sign? I have no fuckin use for them, but randomly drybrushing a shitload of bones just because + big shields to freehand on just kinda sounds like a good time.
These He-Man minis are pretty fun and a nice palate cleanser after lots of warhammer.
>>94549090Didn’t want to clean that mould line?
>>94549752Didn't care enough, no.
>>94548884>>94548913>>94548932>>94548948Came out pretty good. Bit of a rush job but happy with the result
>>94549889
>>94549889>>94549904Yep, golden oldie. Did all my orc weapons/armor like that in the 90's. You can do it a bit extra on the edges of his sword if you want it to look sharper.
anyone got a idea for an alternate colorscheme for the space wolves?
Some good progress on the Cryptek. It's my first attempt on this kind of power blade effect, but I think it came out well.
Does anyone know if DM recasts specifically use something that works with plastic glue because some items have reviews saying they work with plastic glue which is unusal for recasters
>>94550266That's very good anon, especially for a first attempt. The only thing I think could really be improved is the transition to white, it's a bit abrupt in the places I circled. The crystal looks good too, by the way
>>94547437Don’t know what I was thinking. The zenithal was a huge faff as they don‘t have that many nonblack parts but here‘s a little progress.
>absentmindedly cutting up parchment paper for wet palette>realize I did them the wrong fucking size>gonna be using these for fucking months nowFUCK
>>94550176Dark gray, bronze and red?
>>94546810RD of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. I am waiting a couple more days to see if the last pieces of the present come in. If not, I'll send what I have and you're getting a second present later.
I experimented with different tapes and tried to use that glue mass (something similar to what you guys call "blutac") as well on bases, so far with just normal water, before using water "gel" for submerged effect and it still leak. I'm running out of ideas.
I dropped this guy and his arm snapped off, but it's made me realize I should have kept the arm separate in the first place.
>>94550323I'll try those thanks!
Beginning on bases, cork super glued to bases drying now. I'll come in and trim some more of the excess off to neaten up the bases, make cracks/potholes, and fill in some spots with texture paste. Going to make some cork rocks, sprue beams, and a few tufts to help break up the asphault, and the bases will get a thin coat of watered down pva to fill in some of the more "corky" texture.
>>94550649>thumbnailnice cookies
>>94545712Anybody know of a good grey paint between pale grey and German grey?
>>94550682A 50/50 mix of those two colors
>>94550715
>>94550715gave me a chuckle
>>94550715>>94550733>>94550771Legitimately forgot one could mix paints when I was posting. The marketing conditioning is working on me.
what GW paints are good for blonde, brown, and red hair colors? Doing a blood bowl team and need to differentiate my linemen with some different hair colors
>>94550787This is what Citadel does to a brain. This hobby is so cursed when you start out and just buy every paint recommended for painting somethihng before you get the confidence to mix paints.
>>945506641500% daily fiber per serving
It's been tough to find time to paint lately, fucking holiday bullshit. Calling these done, pretty happy with at least 4 of them. Don't think the stripes on Brute Tigrex are quite right but the white flocking fur on Zinogre... yeah that was a choice alright. I was hoping for something like the old Rankin/Bass Bumble puppet fur but it just looks like it was rolled around in cat hair.
>>94551262Fluffy.
how do you guys glue smal accesories to your minis? I tried to glue a relic to my space marine but the surface area is virually 0
>>94551502Not to sound cunty but if it doesn't fit I don't force it. I never put all of the gubbins that come with the boxes on the models, feels that it clutters a lot up way too much. Some things like ork vehicles are one thing, not everything needs to have every square millimeter with something to paint.To answer the question, sprue goo if its plastic on plastic to give a little more "body" to hold the piece in place or you can use superglue and accelerator to instantly bond a piece. Good tweezers are a big help with tiny pieces.
>>94551262Fuck, actual Zinogre Krox. That's awesome.
>>94551502If the problem is that it isn't seating properly on a surface to glue well enough, glue it with superglue and smush it on with a tiny ball of greenstuff to fill in any gaps and give it a better glued surface.
>>94551502Yeah I don't really understand all the accessories that come in sprues. I mean you can handwave it with sci-fi stuff saying it's mag-locked or whatever. But in fantasy, I just don't know where to put pouches and stuff. Usually models have a belt, but the parts never sit naturally.
Do you guys think this metal is too bright? Not sure if it'll look better after a wash or if I should go over it with a darker metal base.
>>94551881Hard to since it looks like you turned all the lights off and except for the one pointing at the mini.I would say yes though. Could do with a black wash if that's how you normally paint your metals. If you don't use washes, do what you gotta do to bring it down a bit and get some shadows into the recesses. I'd be using the silver you used to highlight it.
>>94551881>White primerI get people use it so they can use speed/contrast paints, but god I hate it and I hate painting over it. Makes everything look so blown out. Especially since it looks like you went for dark red and black as the main colours. You should be painting those over black or greay primer. Looks like a particularly crunchy one you used as well. I feel like black primers go on so much smoother, but that also could just be the difference between eyes and camera.
>>94551921Yeah I tried a darker metal on another guy and it looks better. Still will need a wash but closer to what I was picturing. >>94551948It went on pretty smooth. I've had horrible whites before but wraith bone is usually pretty good, and I like it as a base for the contrasts
>>94551983Yeah that must just be camera or something then. Looks like completely different feet there. Looks smooth in this picture and rough in the first one. So almost definitely not visible to naked eye.
Finished the second stripe on the banner, going to be moving on to filling in the rest of the colors on the unit, and circling back to refining the banner at the end.
>>94552126
>>94551732I can manage a pouch on a space marine, but the bone relic has a gluable surface of a whole square millimeter
>>94552131That's a nice banner. I've always avoided banners.
>>94551262I think purple and green are my favorites, but they all look really well done.As for the fur...well, nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Is left going to be too dark to rrad as purple after I add a 3:1 burnt umber:black oil wash? I already fucked up my maleceptor by making it too black and now I'm going to have to mask the body and try again.
>>94552131Nice.
>find small youtube channel>they post interesting stuff for a year>disappear into the aether
>>94552337Is that water along his jaw line or did your airbrush spit when you zenithaled? Before I worked out cleaning and clogs, those white dots were too common for me.
I have to learn to stop being anxious about ruining models and just keep making progress on them.I haven't painted anything in like 3 weeks. I've been assembling at least, but now I'm already worried about how I'm gonna paint these things.
>>94552746>ruining modelsLike with paint? How do you ruin a model with paint? You can just paint over it. Shit's thin.
>>94552746I sometimes fall into that mindset too, but I just remind myself, if I truly fuck up I can just chuck it into some isopropyl alcohol and start over. Stakes really aren't as high as your mind makes them out to be.
>>94552746Trying to avoid failure is the biggest waste of time in life. No matter how much you prep you're gonna fuck up, and through fucking up learn to be better. Suck it up and get your reps in, iteration is the key to everything.
You own the object. You can't 'ruin' it. It's yours. No one else cares.
>>94552834I own my dick and ruin that all the time.
>>94552746Bro... it's just a plastic mini. You're stressing like it's some fine art restoration or something. It's okay if you "ruin" a few (actually, it's pretty much expected).
Another Beast Snagga done-ish (still need to base obviously). I really have to figure out a good edge highlight paint for the copper edges, but in the grand scheme of things that isn’t a huge deal and I can continue exploring.Biggest lesson I am learning from this set is that I don’t have it in me to do batch painting at this level. I feel like I’m getting a better handle of the full set’s unique quirks (like ‘problem spots’ with common pouches, weapon angles, etc.) when I complete one unit at a time. I have six other units about 80% completed and some of the things I learned from this current guy I’m too late to apply to the others. Mind you, I don’t play the game nor show these things off so it’s purely for my own sake but I still like to put the effort in.
>>94552946Looks really nice. If you're looking to spice up those pants, apply this video. I go back to this video all the time, it's my favourite way to paint leather.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9D3aa6HKZMSadly I don't have a good photo of when I first used it. Painted this for a friend and gave it to them without taking a well lit photo of the completed mini. I really like the technique of just slopping the paint on and then bring it all back together with glazes.
>>94552985Thanks for the video! I’ll take a watch tonight before going to sleep. Leather is definitely one of the next material types I want to put a bit more focus on.
>>94553014Yeah I mean going off your orc, you're already way better than me, but I really like learning new techniques that go beyond the normal, base, shade, layer, highlight. Like weird stuff that can represent different textile textures and stuff.
>>94552778ntg but don't stripping chemicals destroy greenstuff
High elves printed and ready for primer.
>>94553055That catcher's mit is way too cute.
>>94553054Isn't greenstuff an epoxy putty? I can't imagine IPA is going to do anything to that unless you let it stew for a week.
How many of you have fantasized about putting together a hobby kit like the old guy from Toy Story 2 who restores woody has?Be honest.
>>94553123Don't you already have that?
>>94552339Thanks :)>>94552162Thank you. I've always wanted to paint the kinds of banners that I saw in my old army books, and I'm happy that after a few I'm finally at a level I can be proud of. With a bit of planning of colors and care + time it's not unaproachable, I think everyone should give it a try.
>>94553123Just put your bits in a tackle box?
>>94553167Yeah the first thing I tried to paint was a box of orkz in Goffs colours. After a few attempts at trying to do the checkers, I haven't gone back to trying freehand stuff since. I'll be trying again soon though.
>>94552746For me it's starting. I'll have stuff sitting there primed for ages with a paint scheme in my head, but not be sure how to start it.
For those that have built multiple space marines, I got a question, how easy would it be to take an inceptor jump pack and put it on a Captain in Gravis armor mini?I mainly build DE since it is the only army I have but I would like to have a space marine model or two so I have a nice little mini to look at of my favorite chapters and I was thinking a bulky jump captain would be nice.
>>94553123Ziploc bag in a cardboard box count?
>>94553312Pretty close.
>>94545712I've spent like 3 days refining it and I finally figured out the Purple Lake/Flourescent Pink Emperor's Children.
>>94553123I use a repro of a french toolbox reproduction from restoration hardware to keep my small hobby hand tools in yes. Shame they don't make them anymore (and have gone off the deep end on luxury bs). It's a brilliant design and now I can only find cheap trash ones from china. Regular toolboxes/tackleboxes suck comparatively. Stole a pic from etsy of a vintage one.
>>94553418Would Destroy Ninja Turtles/10
Why are you guys not using used grinded coffee instead of dirt and sand?
>>94553581Because I drink instant coffee.
>>94553123Currently I'd rather focus on more efficient storage solutions, laser cut custom shelves/drawers and stuff.
>>94553591Steve is a treasure
>>94553581because I only drink tea
>>94553593That's fair. I wish I could get behind laser cut stuff but I'm just too much of an annoying hipster to tolerate the aesthetic of it.
>>94550434How'd you build this guy anon? Conversion?
>>94553599the man tries to live equal part dangerously and deliciously>>94553616you can use laser cut frame as a foundation and give it a coat or warnish or glue some cork on, or whatever it is you find aesthetically agreeable
Finally, the painter gloves
>>94553644This would be unironically useful for a canvas painter or something. Don't see it making sense for us artlets

I genuinely can't believe that shit really happened just now, but I finished painting every wargaming and board game mini I have.Now what?Actually uhhhhhhh... play the board games?
>>94554334>actually playing games with your miniatureslmao what are you a faggot? Just buy more
>>94554334Fuck that's impressive. WIP's own Buddha.
>>94553099>>94553054They do. Every model with greenstuff that I've had to strip has had the greenstuff irreversibly go soft and rubbery, and usually separates it from whatever it's attached to if it wasn't also superglued down. Lost quite a bit of good sculpting (relatively speaking) to it.
Almost done with this guy. Time to shelve him for a bit and work on the rest of the squad.
I’ve gone back and fixed most of my mistakes and my rubric marines are basically done. Technically I still have to base, varnish, and apply decals, but I’m moving on to my scrab terminators and will come back to that later.
Repostin from last threadFinished for my bro for christmas, he likes hollowknight
>>94554636cute
>>94554636nice! where can I find that file?
>>94551032To be fair mixing isn't always reliable when you're dealing with mystery hobby sludge composed of a dozen different unknown pigments as opposed to proper artist grade paints.
>really want to try miniature painting>most miniatures I like the look of are either way too expensive because of the gameplay components included, or are painter scale minis that would be far too difficult for a beginnerPain
>>94554636whats with all the texture? is it the paint or the finished surface below
>>94554747Post a ms paint collage of some models you like the look of. I am sure we can find some alternatives for you
>>94554662Thx>>94554666Nom nom figures, i got this on etsy>>94554750A bit of both, im lazy with thick coats and the print wasnt perfect to begin with
Anon, a wonderful gift and exactly what I was hoping for. Sorry for the delay in posting this, my wife was having an emergency caesarean as your gift was delivered and the postman helpfully yeeted it over the fence in the middle of a storm and didn't tell me it had been delivered so I didn't pick it up immediately (luckily all good!) then the last few days have been absorbed by lack of sleep and this shitting creature which now lives in my house. The finned beast sort of thing and the squirrel are my personal favourites, Bloodletters will be used for Frostgrave monsters and Silver Bayonet. Looking forward to getting stuck into it all! Also, a healthy dose of (still usable) smut. I did have to try and explain the anime figure to my wife though. To EdinburghKhorneAnon, I haven't forgotten about you - sorry for the delay but the last week and a bit have been turned upside down, will be sending your gift and will be with you in Friday/Saturday at the latest.
>>94554044But coffee is cheaper, reusable and smell better
>>94554055Dried grinded cofffee smell good, what are you on about?
>>94554944>e2046I'm sorry for your loss
>>94553620he's all printed parts from a guy called bolterjugend, plus the old command squad banner and a plastic loincloth
>>94555008Their casting quality's actually got markedly better over the last decade
>>94554910Eh, it more or less boils down to me preferring the style and proportions of larger scale figures but those also being significantly more difficult to paint and being very demanding, high time investment projects which is not great for a beginner, and aside from the price, not being that fond of heroic scale proportions or the tendency towards grotesque faces and exaggerated, cartoony features on most tabletop miniatures.
>>94554334I don't even know if I believe this post.There's just no way somebody finished their backlog.
i had a broken rhino so im making it into scenery
>>94554944Glad it arrived !!the E2046 is a reasonable cast and not too smutty.Congrats on the waen, hope it arrived safer than the package.
>>94554334>Finished pile of shameImpressive
>>94554944>finned beast sort of thingLooks like a "realistic" pokemon take on a Swampert.
>>94554944Congrats on the shitling Anon, what army will they start with?
>>94555202>crisp clean armor where a bomb went off
>>94555443it was chomped by a big alien
>>94555443i have to paint it before i can trash it right
I've finaly sent your package, MB from Hungary, Santanon has the tracking number. Sorry for taking so long, fingers crossed it makes it to you before Christmas and I hope you enjoy the stuff!
>>94554426Very nice. I'm happy to see you posting here more often
>>94554334I just now realized that I got into painting to play 40K, but I spent maybe 5 hours playing 40k and like 80 hours painting. The fuck.
>>9455559140k as an actual game sucks ass and changes all the time. It's why people always tell new players to pick the army they think looks the coolest.
>>94553767>imagine not getting grinched and then losing your gift from having it getting sent back
>>94555617I hate both painting and playing 40k but it's the only thing that anyone plays where I live, so I'm considering just quitting the hobby
>>94553767Anon... J.M. from Bradford is... he-... I'm sorry...
>>94555591I've been painting Warhammer for 4 years, only played 3 games of 40k in that time. Granted that has more to do with my friend group being too busy for a 4 hour game than a lack of fun but yeah, it happens. I've switched to AOS this year for Spearhead - I've still only played 3 games there as well but 3 in 6 months is better than 3 in 4 years.
>>94553767Son,... you want to sit down for this one
>>94555703>>94555676what the fuck is going on
>>94555677I WISH I could find anyone to play spearhead
>>94555591>>945556771-3 games per year is pretty normal in this hobby
>>94555739My local group hosts multiple games a week, where the fuck do you live that you can only play once a year?
>>94550373Anon, thank you very much for the updates, I will wait happily so you don't have to pay for shipping twice, it's ok.
>>94555769dont get a gf anon
How many of your high quality paintjob minis would you trade for a gf?
>>94556019I don't want a gf. Also>>>/r9k/
Have you ever seen CD/DVDs used in projects, besides as bases for scatter terrain?Looking at the reflective sides I got the idea to make crystals from them. And if they look somewhat decent I'd like to do a diorama of the Dome of Crystal Seers.
Turns out that isolation tape for electronics is enough to seal base for water effect gels. Too bad that I also fucked up shape but maybe Ai can correct it with knife later and pour again. Maybe...
about to finish my Stingwings, only 3 minis left to highlight + plus some detail work like the claws and eyes and stuff. Taking pictures with a proper camera really helps identify mistakes one made - i really need to be more careful with hairs and bristles getting caught in the paint, happened so many times with these its not even funny. I should also watch sone videos on how to paint and shade whites
>>94556594
>>94556594>>94556601I like the scheme a lot anon, reminds me of Scyther. White with yellowish green and red accents compliments the darker green very nicely.
>>94553581Why don’t I use what now to make what?
>>94556065I have not, but that is very clever
I want to make a castle wall next year and because it's my first terrain project should I try to find cheap foam or just do carboard?I'm thinking with cardboard to sides with a piece in between to be where minis could stand. I could coat the outside with a putty paste to give texture and draw lines to make the stones
>>94556798How much detail do you want? How thick will the walls be?A strip of something rigid for a base and a block of foam is the foundation you’ll probably want regardless of how you detail it.
>>94556798This is a wood board and insulation foam, the render is plaster mixed with pva and water to make lazy gesso/spackle. And then painted with shitty house paint out a skip.
>>94556823This would be for play, which is I'm leaning towards cardboard so I don't have to feel bad because I can get it for freeI was thinking of making them 2-3 inches wideRigidity is a good point because this would probably be around 4 feet and even in pieces if I go too high it might give>>94556854So this would be castle wall so it would go higher than that. What's a good deal for insulation foam? Amazon has it for $30 a sheet but if there is a source for less then I'd obviously prefer that
anyone know if mr paint remover works with enamel? i want to remove rustoleum primer from a miniature
>>94556891Builders merchant. Or a skip where they’re redecorating a house. Should get a board (1msquarish) for under £10. “Insulation board” they come in different density, like polystyrene up to nearly fiber glass. Fiber ones cut like ass with hot wire so be warned. Card struggles with any weight or moisture so make sure you reinforce it and rest it with consideration. Maybe look into dolls house making if you’re making a castle.
>>94557109DONT DO AN ENEMA WITH MR PAINT REMOVER
>watch tutorial>my paints and brushes simply don't do what those in the video doit's over
>>94557193Likely one of 3 thingsPaint too thinPaint too thickWrong amount of paint on brush
First two linemen of the Nuln Oilers closing in on done. Need to wait for the texture mud to dry and then try to put some flock and field lines on top. First time using flocking so I hope it works okay. Anyone have any tips?
>>94557202*badly loaded brushBecause if you have the root filled with water, or too dry, it messes up the paint on the tip. >>94557244Less is more when it comes to foam flock.
>>94557244>>94557271This is what I have, static grass. Not sure if that's quite the same thing.
>>94557244And break up flocking with odd details else it looks too uniform.
>>94557202How the fuck do I thin metallics without it turning into glitter waterAnd yes I use medium and not water
>>94557276Oh, ok. To make tufts get a piece of tape or something glue will peel off. Put dots of pva, put a little pinch of grass in, let it dry. A static applicator helps a lot but you can make do without if you don’t just mush the grass down, because what sells the look is not seeing both ends of the fibre. You can mix in other fibres without shelling out, I use hemp string cut up into tiny bits to make dead grass. And then like I said before, less is more break it up so it doesn’t look boring. Plan your main details and then fill in some space to balance the composition.
>>94557301It IS glitter water. Multiple thin coats or different paint. It’s the main reason I switched to NMM.
>>94557301get the vallejo metal color line and use it out the bottle
>>94557301I've personally never thinned metallics, I just make sure the brush isn't overloaded and if I have to do a 2nd coat then so be it
>>94557301Switch to VMC so you can have the opposite problem (solved by wicking onto paper towels)
Man, it feels so nice to rebottle Citadel paints into normal bottles. Fuck you, james porkchop, and your shitty pots.
>>94557349>>94557318Is scale75 any good? I have some unopened metallics from them that I got for free.
2 more Night Lords done, also done with trying to do oil washes on infantry, its too meticulous and take too much time. Also varnish> oil wash> varnish > highlights / details > final varnish takes too much resources and blotches the pain job i think.
>>94557364always the morally correct thing to do
>>94557450The metallics are their best offering, and thin down really nicely. However, they seperate even faster than normal metallics and still need two coats to cover.
Decals are such a pain. And the Revell decal soft doesn't do shit
>>94557364>>94557492How do you lads do it? It's always a mess, not to mention it is difficult to get all the colour out of the GW pot.
>>94557643it's been a while since I've done it but if I remember correctly>shake them like crazy, vortex mixer helps>transfer as much as you can to a bottle using a stainless steel cone>add a couple drops of water/thinner to the pot, shake again and pour the leftoversDuncan has a video about this you can see what I mean by a stainless steel cone
>>94557643I have this problem as well. I even printed a little holder to assist in transferring them. Citidel paints are always so think it dosnt funnle properly and I end up adding way too much thinner.
>>94557655>>94557658Speaking of water, use/add distilled instead of regular/tap water. The paints will last a lot longer.
>>94557664good point
>>94557643Basically this >>94557655 but I also use an old shitty Green Stuff silicone sculpting tool to scoop the color out.
>>94555880My girlfriend paints and plays with me, get a better girlfriend.
>>94557752Rude. You don't have to remind me how miserable life is without a hobby gf. I'd get one if I could.
Grass went on nice. First one (left) was a bit of a learning experience but from now on should come out great.
>>94557784If you're unhappy with her, don't keep her. You're wasting both your times.
>>94557566There is a reason almost nobody is using that Revell stuff.
>>94557566Get mr mark setter and mr mark softer. I'm a complete retard and I manage to get smooth decals with this stuff
the new dwarf models are such a delight
>>94557834I'm NTA, I'm single. I would never say that if I had a gf, I would break up if I were at the point of thinking that.
>>94557938Okay, good.
>>94557834Surely having a kid together would fix it?
>>94557968Only if the kid is into mini painting.
I'm almost done with my SS. I want to post a picture because I'm pretty proud of how it turned out, but I'll keep it a secret till it's received.I hope anon likes it, even though I had to substitute a thing last minute because of the CP strike.
some termie sorcerer progress
>>94557834just becausey ou are in a relationship doesn't mean you need to share interests/hobbies, in fact it's probably a good thing to have time apart at different things as log as her hobby isn't chad
>>94558005He said his life was miserable.
>>94558002Oh it's a canadanon?
>>94558088Sadly, yes.
>>94558004looks beautiful
>>94558004Love these updatesWhat are you basing him with?
>>94558170>>94558228Appreciated anons. He's getting a desert base like the other guys, i might throw in some bits since he's the leader dude
>>94558004Really making me sad that I sold my Tsons, what purples are you using on the cape?
Some rubble super glued down and texture paste worked into some of the bare spots and rough sides, letting that set overnight and I'll reassess tomorrow. Might take some of the rubble piles down a little, but in any case the bases will get a thin pva layer before priming.
>>94558287I like these models a lot. It's supposed to be more burgundy since it's the burgundy triad from Duncans range. Oh and I darkened the deepest shadows with some black
>>94558309Return of the forbidden cookies.
>>94558309You overcooked your granola
>>94558309haha put some salted peanuts and hot caramel on top of it. let the caramel cool and then dump those 'bases' in a quick glaze of dark chocolate
>>94558316>>94558337>>94558341Grandma's secret recipe no bully.
ok but what if we made cookies that look like warhammer bases?
>>94558468I will eat all the space hulk cookies
>>94558468Gingersnaps already look like basic stone/sand bases with the cinnamon sugar dusting. We can use brownies or brookies instead of cork to build our bases up.
>>94558468Surely some hobby store or club has done this.
M.M. from Warsaw, your parcel is on the way. Santa will contact you with tracking reference soon enough.excuse excessive packaging, I used to work at a distribution center and I know what these parcels go through (I was part of the problem).
>>94558468I'm surprised they don't try to capitalize on edible minis.
>>94558722There's that boardgame with playdoh minis. Those are edible.
Lindsay, ON anon. I will be shipping your stuff out tomorrow and I think it should be there by the end of the week. Feel free to open before Christmas.
>>94557109For enamel you need mr weathering color solvent
>>94546747Dozens, guess where I live. Ironically not a mecca of GW gaming at all, Warlord loom much larger in terms of the local scene.Anyhow, if you mean how they are in retail, its because they are taught to sell that way and the culture around that is very strong. Partly "the persona" is a function of how you hard sell when your audience are autists and children. They remind me a bit of a cross between a children's TV presenter and religious people looking for converts and that probably isn't far off the mark. And its in part the kind of people they get for whom working for GW is like getting asked to play guitar for the Rolling Stones or something. I think they exploit that a lot frankly. You shouldn't hate them though, you don't have randoms coming in off the street to talk Dark Angel lore at you for 90 minutes on on a Tuesday morning whether you are trying to stock take (or saw your own head off) or not.That said, if there is any GW personality you do like, nearly all of them started in retail and were that guy. So it does wear off.
I want to start learning about paint mixing, and I remember reading that citadel paints and some others are not great for that purpose. What are some paints that work for mixing and what colors should I get? Is cyan, magenta, yellow and black enough?
>>94558002>because of the CP strikethe what
>>94559376Not that it's the best starting starting point, but kimera is the obvious best answer. Inks might be a better option for beginning.The only problem with citadel and even other hobby paints and mixing, is that to up/down saturation as well as coverage they add black or white pigments to the paints, so it just adds another unnecessary level of mental overhead when figuring out what you should mix with what you want to get.You could still do it with citadel though, just pick the most highly saturated paints in the base set you want, like CYM, or even just do them and the other main colors in the color wheel to simplify your starting positions. They would probably end up being mostly from the layer line and you might have to add black/white to adjust coverage.
>>94559414The little ungrateful bastards are striking for better working conditions.
>>94559414Canada Post, anon.
>>94559376Big Child Creative's Atom Spartpaints are good for paint mixing. There isn't a big range so you need to mix. And they behave predictably. Unfortunately they aren't for sale right now for some reason. I got them this last spring from Spray Gunner. I don't know why it's difficult now.
>>94559376>I remember reading that citadel paintsReally? What was the issue? I mix paints all the time now and I mainly still have all the Citadel pots from when I started. It's just colour, you take a colour and mix in a different colour that you think will create the colour you want. For example I don't like Citadel flesh tones, so I mix Khorne red into them to get a bit of pinkness in the mix. Or for an earthy purple for skin shadows on dark brown skin, I took some Naggaroth Purple and mixed in some warboss green or whatever it's called. You just eyeball it and mix.
Monhun Krox proggers, maybe 80% done. Hard to believe this is the last squad in my Seraphon pile of shame. Pretty happy with how Nargacuga and Brachy are coming along but the Espinas subspecies is going to need extra cleanup since the dry brushing got a little messier than I'd like.
>>94558004>and then the texture paint gets on the cloak
>>94559258Thanks for the heads up. I wasn't too worried. I haven't sent mine yet either, because my previously reliable retailers have been cucking me. Doesn't have far to go once the last pieces arrive though
>>94556759Nice muscle definition
>>94559376I picked up CMYK inks for the purpose of trying to follow the State of Play youtuber's guide, haven't been able to prime anything between real life and the damn cold but this is probably what that would look like
>>94559580looking good anon
>>94552383It's something my brush started doing recently that no amount of taking apart and cleaning has fixed. I don't know what to call it other than sputtering. Like it's not a continuous stream it goes like a stereotypical sprinkler. But it only happens sometimes so I don't know what causes it. It's pretty unnoticeable in real life, but the camera really accenuates it.
>>94559983That's classic clog territory. You've tried soaking the nozzle in IPA for a few hours and using an old needle or cleaning tool to try and scrape or push it out?
>>94559983>piccute
>>94554334Proud of you anon.And disappointed in myself. As I have more minis on the way, they are just held hostage by the Canadapost strikers.
>>94560008Maybe not hours, but I've soaked it in a pill bottle of IPA while I fully disassemble and clean out the rest of the brush. Sometimes, it will sputter right away, and then I'll rinse out the cup with IPA, and it'll be fine again. Other times, I'll go an entire painting session with no problems at all. I don't feel like I'm doing anything different. Im making sure I use lots of thinner and flow improver, I have the right consistency, I make sure I rinse the cup and clear the line every few minutes or so, I always clean it out and disassemble it when I'm done etc.Maybe I should just buy an Eclipse.
>>94560023I just want my goofy ass rat sweater and these post office assholes keep bitching about "fair pay" and "not wanting to get stabbed when delivering at night"Fuck you, get stabbed I want to wear the rat sweater to my christmas dinner at my inlaws.
>>94560031I have an eclipse and that would happen to me until I learned more about cleaning and clogs. Beyond thinner going in first what really helped me was >Never empty the cup by spraying. Always tip it out>Get a squeeze bottle and use a mixture of mostly water and a bit of airbrush cleaner to rinse and back spray until clear>After priming, always soak the nozzle for a few hours in IPA and clean with a toolSoaking is never enough. I find it best if I push the tool through the nozzle and twist onto a paper towel. The remaining moisture flows into the towel and helps you see if there's any paint coming out. Your needle might be bent as well I guess. Could take a close look at that. Might want to look up a guide to check that your brush is airtight as well. Maybe there's a seal loose and air is getting out. So many potential problems.
>>94560042>these post office assholes keep bitching about "fair pay" and "not wanting to get stabbed when delivering at night"Bohoo, I want my fucking Necromunda minis though!
>>94560042That sweater is sick as fuck, where do I get it
When I tried to remove tape from test water base, it turned out that gel didn't really adhere to base itself as much as to tape instead and this is how it ended.What to do next time to avoid this?
>>94560062https://merch.warhammer.com/en-de/products/skaven-xmas-jumper-aos
>>94560042>Fuck you, get stabbed I want to wear the rat sweater to my christmas dinner at my inlaws.I feel the same way because they decided to start their strike around Black Friday into Christmas time. Real dickish move on their part.
>>94560100Do you know what a blister pack is? It has pretty much the perfect thin plastic to make into a circle and tape to a base to make those water effect bases. The water resin stuff doesn't stick to it, well it does but you can peel it off pretty easy. It works with most water effects you'd find at railroad, miniature and hobby shops. If you're using some other brand make a test base to work out the bugs. Tape was a dumb idea fyi. you can't even make that into a decent circle.
>>94558686
>>94560175>not available
>tfw used an airbrush for the first time today>primer seems to go through fine, just kept adjusting the thinner ratio a bit>did a zenithal highlight with AK Ivory>thinned it down more>tfw kept clogging over and over again>took a lot longer than I expected to finish it>opened the nozzle after running cleaner through it>paint gunk everywhere on the inside I'm assuming I've fucked up somewhere, dunno if I needed to turn the psi up, or it wasn't diluted enough, etc
>>94560100I have never had poured resin or epoxy stick to tape when using it as a mask. Maybe that electrical? tape is the fault? Get some washi tape/tamiya masking tape/painters masking tape/scotch tape and run some more tests.
>>94560318White is fucked, it needs to be incredibly thin. Just give up on normal acrylics and zenithal and use Tamiya flat white thinned 5:1 thinner:paint and go light on the psi
>>94560190You mean clear plastic? I'm not sure where I could easily buy large amounts of it. But how to seal it in removable manner to prevent leaking?
>>94560319Already tried using various masking tapes before - gel would leak between, detach the tape from base and make whole gel flow around. Electrical isolation tape was the first where this didn't happen.
>>94560347Alrighty I'll keep that in mind, I was going to try the pro acryl white but it's probably thicker than the one I used so I'd have to thin the fuck outta it. I'll pick up that tamiya white next time I'm at my lgs
I would like to remind anons to lie on customs forms for your SS
>>94560100Maybe the adhesive in that tape is too strong or something. I'll take a picture of the tape I've been using when doing water effects on my bases. I'm pretty sure it's just a regular masking tape only a little bit thicker though.
>>94560468when I get home* which is in like 5 hours, my bad
What should I use to clean mold release agent off of resin? Some brands have dedicated products for it (like Gaia resin wash) but those aren't available in the EU
>>94560604Soapy water and a toothbrush has never failed for me.
>>94560609I've tried dish soap and water in an ultrasonic cleaner but that never seemed to quite get it all off. I've looked online for alternatives but all I could find are simple green and purple power, which aren't available here either, but I assume they're just industrial strength degreasers, and we presumably have our own brands for that.
>>94560639>but I assume they're just industrial strength degreasers, and we presumably have our own brands for that.Nevermind, after some research it turns out those aren't easily available to buy in the EU either. Annoying. Maybe I should just stay away from resin models.
>>94560357No from like these boxes miniatures are sold in. Or any kind of thin plastic you can cut and bend, a lot of fruit and veges are sold in thin plastic boxes too, spinach for example.
>>94560357>>94560752This might be acetate or something very similar. You can get it in sheets/film. Around 0.2mm should be about right
>>94560661Are these ones you printed yourself or bought? I bought some recently and didn't wash them and the primer went on fine. What can happen if you don't wash them?
>>94559376>>94559498It's not that Citadel paints are inherently bad for mixing, it's that some paints are already mixed with something that could have unwanted effects. To avoid this, you want to use single pigment paints like Kimera or the artist stuff. Here's a neat trick: if you mix two colors on the opposite side of the color wheel, they will neutralize into a brownish-gray color. If you notice hobby paints looking muddy when mixed, they might have pigments that are neutralizing each other.
>>94560921They're purchased cast resin models, not printed.
>>94560357>I'm not sure where I could easily buy large amounts of it.It's that thin transparent plastic commonly used for packaging. You're very likely to have some in your bin right now. No need to buy.
>>94559831Thanks, I thought it was overkill to do actual muscle groups but apparently not.
>>94560100Also mdf has like a paper layer surface, score it with a knife in a criss-cross so you’re actually gluing into the fibers and not to the surface layer. As others have said, plastic packaging is ideal for dams but whatever you use you should put a release agent. Just use your skin grease like artisans do.
>>94560100
>>94555591>>94555617>>94555677>>94555739I am at the opposite end for the last year now, where i can get 3-4 games biweekly thanks to the gaming club we got going in my city. 20-30 people regularly get together while we got a total membership of about 50.This helps me find motivation to paint more.
MJ in Rochdale, despite you being on the wrong side of the war of the roses, your parcel is on the way.
Santa here, before sending out the usual reminders for slowpokes i thought it would be nice to have a little info post. Its 2 weeks until christmas eve, and 60% of all participants have forwarded me their tracking number by now. Interestingly enough, and maybe caused by their post strikes, no canadian has sent me a tracking number so far. If you have not yet shipped your parcel, you will get a reminder email from me within the next 1-2 days. If you haven't got an email with a tracking number from me yet, then no need to ask for it at this point. I usually forward the tracking numbers i get within a few hours at most. If shipped this week, its still enough days left for any shipment to reach its destination in time i'd sayHave a nice holiday season everyone, and keep those pictures of gifts coming. Without pictures it is just half the fun for everyone.

>>94560318The paint that was near the needle and nozzle was thicker when it got down there is all. Once you get used to airbrushing you'll have a better handle on how to thin your paints from the get go. Just make sure you're putting a few drops of thinner in the cup before any paint, helps keep fresh paint from getting right into the nozzle and drying. Mixing in a container then pouring into the airbrush cup is the foolproof method, but mixing in the cup is fine too, work a brush around to break up the big globs of paint then blowback mix. Proacryl airbrushes a little bit funky, it sprays like a dream but its going to look too thick in the airbrush cup due to its gel consistency. A couple other tips, is usually better to mix smaller batches of paint (3 - 5 models or so) and do a water rinse between them than to try and mix enough paint all at once. The longer the paint is in the cup the greater chance something will dry along the top of the cup or on the sides, slide down and clog the brush. The quick water rinse and mixing more paint is a lot faster than a full disassemble and clean to get a clog. If you still get dry tip and clogging issues Uncle Vince's thinner mix was a big help for me, 80:20 or 70:30 thinner to flow improver. A bit help when I moved to a drier climate and solved my dry tip issue for me.
>>94561592Our lad from Beckenham missed the signups this year, but I have confirmed with him elsewhere that we are still on for our side deal this year.Just waiting for the rest of his stuff to arrive. I have a feeling I'm gonna be late with his gift this year (again). Maybe I'm not the "negotiator" I thought I was...

>>94561279Nice base, but the paint job needs work.
>>94560100Use a silicone mold, or plastic sheet as a wrap. Maybe try a thick layer of PVA glue or mod podge over the sand first since it looks like your resin didn't adhere well to it.
